Close your eyes and take a breath.
If something feels off — if your soul feels a little heavy, a little cluttered, a little worn — don’t ignore it. Pay attention. Lent is not about pretending we’re perfect; it’s about turning honestly toward God and letting Him do the deep work we cannot do alone. This is the set-apart season — the time to scrub away what dulls us, to lay down what burdens us, and to prepare our hearts for something bigger than comfort or routine.
Everyone understands Christmas. A baby born into the world makes sense to us. But Easter? Easter shatters expectations. Easter rewrites the story. Easter declares that death does not win, sin does not define us, and grace has the final word.
The Servant King sees you completely — your strength, your weakness, your mess, your longing — and loves you without hesitation. He steps into our brokenness, carries what we cannot carry, and walks out of the grave so that we do not have to live as prisoners of fear.
This is not small news. This is victory.
So don’t drift through this season half-awake. Turn your heart toward Him. Let Him clean what needs cleaning, heal what needs healing, strengthen what feels fragile. Prepare yourself for resurrection — not just as a story we remember, but as a reality that changes how we live right now.
We are loved. We are sent. We are under marching orders to go into the world and love boldly, forgive freely, and carry hope wherever we step.
Easter is coming. Stand up. Wake up. Let’s go.
